Polarization of Protons inC12(d, p)C13

Abstract

The polarization of protons from the ground-state ${\mathrm{C}}^{12}(d, p){\mathrm{C}}^{13}$ reaction has been measured over an angular range ${\theta }_1=15\mathrm{}°$ to ${\theta }_1=60\mathrm{}°$ at a deuteron bombarding energy of 10 Mev. The polarization was found to be positive at all angles studied, the axis of quantization being defined by $\mathrm{n}={\mathrm{k}}_p\times {\mathrm{k}}_d$. The observed polarizations were 18% at 15°(lab); 11% at 18°; 13.8% at 24°; 15.2% at 30°; 19.5% at 36°; 44.4% at 48°; 30% at 54°; 45.8% at 60°. The results are compared with existing polarization measurements on ${\mathrm{C}}^{12}(d, p){\mathrm{C}}^{13}$.
